This page of the wiki is designed to bring together all of the elements of the CSU Degree Initiative. There are a number of ideas surrounding the CSU DI and it is important to understand where they all fit. For more basic information about the CSU DI please click here.
What is the CSU Degree Initiative?
CSU has made a commitment to all CSU undergraduates that, as well as gaining an in-depth understanding of their chosen disciplines and professions, they will have access to:
A supported transition into the first year of university; and thereafter throughout the undergraduate student experience;
Employability and generic skills such as effective communication; analytical skills; critical and reflective judgment; problem-solving; team work; and time-management;
The opportunity for international experiences and to develop an international perspective in their discipline or profession;
An engagement with the responsibilities of global citizenship;
The opportunity to develop cultural competence;
The opportunity to engage meaningfully with the culture, experiences and histories of Indigenous communities;
Understandings of financial, social and environmental sustainability;
A firm understanding of ethics;
Education based in practice;
Engagement in activities that foster web-based proficiency;
Threshold disciplinary outcomes (to be developed).
To ensure that these experiences and knowledge are delivered to all CSU graduates, CSU has created a number of different degree initiatives in order to embed these principles into the course context. The degree initiatives aim to develop a design-based approach to course renewal. The diagram below offers more information about how the different strands of the CSU DI are intended to compliment each other.
This diagram helps illustrate how all elements of the CSU DI fit together within the wider context. Once all elements have been situated within the context of the course it is easy to see how they meet and overlap.
